+long_desc="
+ Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
+ that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. For an introduction
+ to programming in Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The Python
+ Library Reference documents built-in and standard types, constants, functions
+ and modules. Finally, the Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and
+ and semantics of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail.
+
+ Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules written in C or
+ C++. On most systems such modules may be dynamically loaded. Python is also
+ adaptable as an extension language for existing applications."
